2020 Lahr Kronenbühl Gottsacker Chardonnay Grosses Gewächs trocken, Baden, Germany

Residual and quite deep, somewhat smoky and nutty-woody, also yeasty fragrance with aromas of ripe citrus fruits, pome fruits, a little fennel, mushrooms, caraway, pepper and mineral tones. Ripe, again firm, somewhat melting, also juicy, yet tart fruit, fine, quite lively acidity and mellow tannin, nutty, somewhat woody, herbaceous-vegetable and floral tones, lasting, good substance and a certain depth, still a hint of carbonic acid in the background, red berry and very slightly reminiscent of passion fruit nuances, a hint of smoke, very good, ripe-juicy, melting and spicy finish with bite.
